The Retirement Thread

Wouldn't be too hard on yourself. Wasn't that the day you had already done 50+ miles in the pouring rain?

Thanks but sadly no!! I did once do 50 miles of hills in the morning and then turn up for training. Now that was a BIG mistake.

Huh, bit of a senior moment by me - it was dave r who got soaked the other day. Great that you can still get out with the fast group though.

Bike is ready I'm ready just need to let my breakfast settle and then I'm off

Bit of digging today. Having the driveway widened. I dont want to waste money paying someone to do every last teensy job, so I'm doing some digging myself and saving £200. If I'm still alive I'll go for a run later.

The sun is shining and I am up. I was planning to do a 20 miler this morning but as we are having lunch out with brother in law and his wife just after 12, I may have to postpone the ride until this afternoon. Glad we have longer days again .

I'm afraid I don't know the model number, although the remote says AKB73598401. Its a couple of years old now, bit has been a most excellent performer. Here is it with my 50" Toshiba.

That reminded me i saw an ad in the local paper the other day it read "Tv for sale £10, volume knob broken".....................I thought to myself i can't turn that down.

Just finishing off my porridge then I'm out, 30 miler on the Bromie with daughter.

I've got wet feet at the moment, it was a lovely ride out but there are still some flooded sections of road about. I'm currently sat in the hatton Locks cafe with a coffee and a bacon sandwich.

That was fun,a couple of showers on the way out but lovely sun on the way back

We had a very nice hilly 15 mile ride this morning. It actually felt like a proper Spring day; sunny and clear, light breeze and birdies singing. Not that I could hear them very well over my missus's heavy breathing and swearing. I told her time and again, over the winter, that she would regret avoiding the hills.

Your just torturing the poor woman.

Yep!

Not long back after an enjoyable 51 miles in the sun. Only slight spoiler were some minor gear change issues, I've recently dropped the outer ring by a couple of teeth, 50 to 48, and I thought I'd get away without shortening the chain but it looks like I haven't, It'll change up fine but the change down is all over the place.

 

[arch684]

Yep!
